Weather warnings and flood alerts have been put in place as heavy rain continues to fall across large parts of the country.
Central, Tayside, Grampian and the Highland areas have been worst affected by the weather band with police urging drivers to take care due to large coverings of surface water on many roads.
This afternoon's Scottish Premiere League's match between Ross County and St Mirren was abandoned because of a water-logged pitch, much to the disappointment of the Highland home side who were 2-0 up to St Mirren.
The Met Office has issued yellow "be aware" warnings and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency have urged people to be prepared for flooding in parts of Dundee,Aberdeenshire and Moray.
The rain is expected to less persistent during Sunday but strong gales and a drop in temperature could bring some snow to higher parts in the north of the country.
Nick Prebble, a forecaster for MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said: "There has been heavy rain across mainly northern and eastern parts and as that clears it looks like more blustery showers are on the way tomorrow.
"It will be windy, particularly in the east and up to Aberdeen with some gales blowing along the coast. The real heavy rain will be largely confined to northern parts on Sunday with even some wet snow looking likely in Highland mountain areas.
